2. John began to help Madeleine find the "Possessed Ghost's Past". The problem of a series of plots is the same as that of the first one. The logic is too single and has no change, lack of interaction with the outside world, and the emotional line is also handled sloppily and far-fetched.
3. John suffered from depression after witnessing Madeleine fall from a building and stayed in the hospital for more than half a year. The purpose of this design is to highlight his morbid psychology after he was discharged from the hospital, but from the perspective of watching the movie, this paragraph seems abrupt. Unlike discouragement and loss of rhythm, the hospitalization plot is equivalent to a buffer zone of the story, instead of buffering directly into the pathological state, for the suspense design, the intensity is stronger.
4. Madeleine, who returned to her true identity "Judy", uncovered the mystery of the murder to the audience in advance by writing a letter, which caused the plot after John and her to meet again to appear to be procrastinated. A series of events composed of a single logic of "Judy dressed as Madelyn", as at the beginning, there is still no external conflicts involved. It is better not to let Judy uncover the mystery at the beginning, and at least leave one for the audience to guess Madeleine. Whether Lin and Judy are the same person is in suspense until John finds the necklace and guesses the answer.
5. After discovering the answer, John forced Judy to go up to the clock tower again, saying that it was to reproduce the scene in order to overcome psychological obstacles, no matter whether the psychological logic is really reasonable, or just to show John’s sickness at this time, John’s The changes seem to be too superficial, and too sudden to reduce credibility, as if his love for Judy suddenly turned into a hatred for her, otherwise he would not have to make it even when Judy was obviously in pain and fear. Actions that hurt her. At the same time, Judy appears to be too weak at this time, and he is different from the personality that he showed when pretending to be Madeleine. It is also the reduction of credibility caused by the problem of character creation.
6. Judy’s fall is very far-fetched, with an obvious tendency to die for the sake of death and tragedy for the sake of tragedy. The explanation of the cause of John’s morbid psychology is too thin, but "feeling the resentment after being deceived", and the level is not enough , Coupled with over-rendering the evil results, the final effect is that the audience’s sense of identity with the protagonist John collapsed, from the previous sympathy to disgust, and the movie stopped abruptly after Judy fell and died, like a no-brainer. After telling the story, I don’t know if Hitchcock made this last discomfort intentionally or was caused by misjudgment. After all, this is still a commercial film.
